Dietec's video: Custom modding the Corsair Carbide 400c

I put together this compilation video of the process I went through to finish this simple mod of the 400c. This was done with simple cheap tools, and can be repeated by anyone who wants to by following the techniques I used in the video. One thing I learned from this process is that the LED strips I used weren't optimal, but there was no way I could have known that before actually trying it out. I wanted RGB strips lighting up the front, and the controller placement was fine and all that. Problem was, the strips themselves weren't long enough to light up the very ends of the acrylic strip and they were slightly too tall so the light didn't dissipate as evenly as I'd hoped. This could have been remedied by getting thinner, smaller strips. I am going to work on backlighting even more in the next few mods and when I get it down to a science I will make a tutorial on the methods I've found to be most effective :) Here are the tools and materials I used during the creation of this mod!
